John Murray classes week of July 5, 2015

Next week try a painterly mask that exemplifies your attitude toward the viewer of your work.
Ignore anything that stands in the way of your representation.
No nicely rendered apologia.
A painted reality that does not truly mean anything, but that functions only as paint and attitude.
See you then
John

John Murray classes week of June 29, 2015

Welcome to my Summer session

Next week let's look at our image and ignore what we see in the mirror.
In any medium try a selfie that matters in a deeper way than the illusion of self one thinks one sees reflecting back from our glass.....
Below are two that I recently completed.

See you next week, John.

John Murray classes week of June 7, 2015





Last week of Spring term!
It has been a pleasure working with all of you artists who took my course and put up with me.
Don't forget that Art is the last frontier! 
I have a workshop on Saturday June 13 from 1-5 pm that is a mixture of poetry and painting there is still room...try a mixture that could be very volatile for you as an artist...it has been for me.
I also teach all Summer at NAC every Mon. and Wed. from 4:30-8:30 pm. 
See you next week, John.
